Cannabichromene (CBC), also called cannabichrome, cannanbichromene, pentylcannabichromene or cannabinochromene,[1] exhibits anti-inflammatory properties in vitro, which may, theoretically, contribute to cannabis analgesic effects.[2] It is a phytocannabinoid, one of the hundreds of cannabinoids found in the Cannabis plant.[3] It bears structural similarity to the other natural cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN), among others.[3][4] CBC and cannabinols are present in cannabis.[3] It is not scheduled by the Convention on Psychotropic Substances.
